WTF??? let them prove otherwise ah. So where are the funds going to come from for your “teams of professional big-budget forensic investigators” to go to about 80 million homes of gun owners and tear their homes and yards apart looking for ammon. GET FING REAL!! The only ones that will get them taken away are the pansy asses that willingly turr them in and I won’t be one of them.
"Your terms are acceptable." Dude, that's their JOB. It's what they're paid to do.
Whether they'll do it on a vast scale is a separate issue. My point is that "oh, I lost it in a tragic boating accident / sold it to a complete stranger without papers / some other lame excuse" won't hinder the police, they'll see it as a red flag of guilt.
